Glittering Garland

I had my pick of polishes to wear over this holiday weekend, but I ultimately chose China Glaze Glittering Garland (Let it Snow, Holiday 2011), a rich forest green with yellow-green microglitter:

Picture taken in sunlight. Although slightly cuticle draggy, it applied well and I got full coverage in two coats. I’m glad I chose this to wear on Christmas; it’s gorgeous! The goldish yellow-green microglitter lights up the rich, deep forest green base, giving the color an overall warmer tone. It looks totally luxe and velvety. I just love the look of microglitter sparkling in a deeply-colored base. The concept isn’t new but it makes a beautiful and unique enough polish anyway. I paired this with OPI Smitten with Mittens on my toes.
